Answer 1

Computation of Material variance
	Formula
Material Price Variance	(Standard Price-Actual Price)*Actual quantity	Standard Price	$                                       2.60
		Actual Price	$                                       2.50
		Actual Qty	270400
		Material Price Variance	27040	Favorable
Material Usage Variance	(Standard Quantity-Actual Quantity)*Standard Price	Standard Qty	265000	53000*5
		Actual Qty	270400
		Standard Price	$                                       2.60
		Material Usage Variance	-14040	Adverse
Labor variance
Labor rate variance	Actual Time Taken (Standard Rate – Actual Rate)	Standard rate	$                                    18.00
		actual rate	$                                    17.95
		actual time taken	40100
		Labor rate variance	2005	Favorable
Labor efficiency Variance	Standard rate (Standard Time - actual time)	Standard rate	$                                    18.00
		Standard Time	39750	0.75*53000
		actual time taken	40100
		Labor efficiency Variance	$         -6,300.00	Adverse
Fixed overhead variance
Fixed overhead spending variance	Actual fixed overhead-Budgeted Fixed overhead	Actual fixed overhead	$                        1,61,600.00
		Budgeted Fixed overhead	$                        1,62,000.00	54000*0.75*4
		Fixed overhead spending variance	$                  -400.00	Favorable
Fixed overhead Volume variance	Absorbed Fixed overheads - Budgeted Fixed overheads	Actual output	53000
		Budgeted Output	54000
		Fixed overhead absorption rate	$                                       3.00
		Absorbed Fixed overheads	$                        1,59,000.00	53000*3
		Budgeted Fixed overheads	$                        1,62,000.00	54000*3
		Fixed overhead Volume variance	$              -3,000.00	Adverse
Variable overhead variance
Variable overhead spending variance	(Standard variable overhead Rate − Actual Variable Overhead Rate)*Actual labor hours	Standard variable overhead Rate	$                                       3.00	Per hour
		Actual Variable Overhead Rate	3.04	121900/40100
		Actual labor hours	40100
		Variable overhead spending variance	-1600	Adverse
Variable overhead Efficiency variance	Standard overhead rate x (Actual hours - Standard hours)	Standard variable overhead Rate	$                                       3.00
		Actual hours	40100
		Standard hours	39750	0.75*53000
		Variable overhead Efficiency variance	1050	Adverse
